FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: sitting at flight control watching readings carefully ::
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: standing at tactical on the Bridge ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: lurking in the corridors near the guest quarters :: 
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: returning to the Bridge, after leaving the survivors under the CTO's custody ::
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: Who the hell are you and what have you done with my daughter!!!!
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: At Science Station 1, trying to make sense of the data we do have. :: Self: Unstable temporal wormhole? Maybe orbiting some sort of massive object in one of its locations, causing it to come and go? Maybe just multi-faceted?
CO_Capt_Adams :
OPS: Who is that?
SC_Capt_Marek :
::steps out of the lift as soon as the doors opened with their traditional whooshing sound::
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: looks to the Captain waiting to push some buttons ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: That is the hail we just received from the planet Sir.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: raises eyebrow at hearing the COM unit but says nothing ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: It is audio only.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: nods to the officers at the Bridge and walks to the center of the room, next to the Captain ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: Makes sense, given what we know about the freighter's departure and the kind of communications equipment available to the civilian sector at the time. Or maybe they just are conserving power?
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: OPS: You do know that I can hear you? I may be old but I can still hear.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O'Connor: This is Captain Adams of the United Federation of Planets Starship USS Pandora. And who do I have the pleasure of addressing?
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: face turns red :: CO: Sorry Sir.
SC_Capt_Marek :
::listens to the Captain answering the not so polite message::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: continues to stare through the OPS's head ::
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: wonders how the Captain can sound so diplomatic and so irritated at the same time ::
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: My name is Dylan O’Connor, Federation. Now, where is my daughter?!?
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: mumbles as he raises an eyebrow :: Self: Not such a refined person...
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O'Connor: I'm sorry Mr. O’Connor, but what makes you think we have your daughter aboard?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Sets up an over watch program to signal a low volume alarm on Sci 1 if any spikes in chroniton radiation is detected, then starts using LRS to look for any objects capable of gravitationally attracting a Wormhole within sensor range. ::
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: We have sensors down here. I know that you have our freighter in tow now that you’re close enough for us to pick up.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: remains silent, but turns and nods confirmation to the CO ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: moves next to the CTO console ::
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: I got no answer when I messaged the freighter, so, I just figure you have her.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: whispers :: TO: Just in case try to find out anything that may has a tactical importance... :: raises an eyebrow :: As humans say, you never know..
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: Have you come to help or hinder?
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: thinks the crazy dad is quite rational in his irritation ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: Mr. O’Connor, this ship is exploring this sector of space beyond the Federation Border. We are currently investigating an anomaly which we think has caused a lot of problems. We just learned of you and thought you and your people might need our assistance.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Tilts head. :: Self: I didn't think you even understood sensor operations Doorty, but that might work. :: sets up sensor pallets 13 and 25 to scan for chronitons and links its focus with the main sensor array searching for gravity sources. ::
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: nods to Captain Marek :: SC: Understood Sir.
Darma_O’Connor-Buthcer :
:: looks out the door of her quarters ::

FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: lays in a course to the planet just in case ::
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: Yeah, that what you Federation people said last time.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: nods to Mrs. O'Connor and smiles :: Darma: I would be your chaperon
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
SC: What is the commotion all about?
Friktak :
*CSO*: We're suddenly getting a lot of data about gravitons coming in with the sensor data, do you really think this is the best time to do your research, Chief? Oh, wait, what is... what are you doing up there?
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: Sir, we very recently rescued three women from a ship that was heavily damaged. I believe one of them had a last name of O’Connor.... might be your daughter?
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
CTO: Oh, thank you. I think I'm ready to see your Captain now,
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO: Commander, it seems that someone understand that we have kidnapped his daughter... The Captain is now explaining to that person that we have only rescued them
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: They are safe then?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
*Friktak*: Searching, trying to use a few new ways of thinking. Or an old way applied to a new way...never mind, I'll explain at our next staff meeting why I'm doing it, just keep analyzing!
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: sets up several options for courses depending on what the CO orders and then sets one touch access to each command ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: I think we have a few things to discuss, but yes, the three of them are safely aboard our ship.
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO: And he is not a very diplomatic type of person, if you ask me
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: nods to the FCO to lay in the set course ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: nods :: Darma: I will see is he is available. *CO*: D'ghor to Captain Adams. Mrs. O’Connor-Butcher is wondering if now would be a good time for a meeting.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Sir, did I hear him say "said last time"? Have they encountered Federation vessels out here in the past?
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: sees the CO nod and executes the appropriate one-touch option :: CO: :: whispers :: Aye, Sir.
CO_Capt_Adams :
*CTO*: Lieutenant, please bring the three women to the Bridge. I think there's someone wanting to talk to them.
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: Good, good. :: talks to someone in the back ground :: Maria: Ok! Ok, I'm getting to it. CO: Thank you. :: said grudgingly ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: turns to the CSO :: CSO: Yes, heard that as well...
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
SC: Who, the Captain?
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
*CO*: Understood Sir. Darma: Could you and your traveling companions follow me to the Bridge please?

Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
CTO: Of course. :: motions to Jade and Jude ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO: :: smirk :: Let me rephrase that... the person on the other side of the Comm... :: smiles ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: directs the women to the turbolift ::
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
:: follows the CTO ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: Mr. O’Connor, did you say, "other Federation vessels?"
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
SC: Oh! That makes more sense. Sorry, I should have deduced that myself
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: Yes, but that was a long time ago and not here.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
::enters turbolift and waits for the group to enter::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Self: What if it being a chroniton field, not a spatial field, do high chroniton fields "bend" time to draw other chroniton fields in? No, I know I have no idea, I'm trying to think of a way to test it and... :: Realizes that was out loud and stops talking. ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO: Well, sorry if I expressed it in a bad way
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: unlocks the drawer under his console that contains the hand phaser just in case but leaves it closed ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: We are setting course to your location and should arrive shortly. But, most importantly, there has been major damage to this star system, so, I ask again, are you all safe and okay?
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: orders turbolift to the Bridge ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Turns to the Captain. :: CO: Sir, if not here then where? Sorry to interrupt, but this may be vital...
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: We are safe for the moment. But, we won't be for very much longer.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: How many are you?
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Sir, ETA to orbital trajectory is about 15 minutes.
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: 122 here and three on your ship.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: Acknowledged. Once there, put us in a stationary orbit above their location
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO: I think we are entering in a big mess again... :: tries to make a smile and make the XO understand that he attempted a joke ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: does a quick mental calculation and figures they could support 125 additional souls aboard the Pandora, at least for a while. ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: taps a control :: CO: Aye, Captain. Will we need shuttles also upon arrival?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Half turns to the Console and starts a database search for records of Starship System induced Temporal Anomalies. ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: Not sure, depends on if transporters work and work quick enough if we need to evac them.

OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: If necessary, we can use the cargo transporters as well, it's only a quick recalibration.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Understood. I'll have them on standby by the time we arrive just in case. :: sends the appropriate messages ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: Have as many as possible on standby, just in case.
TO_Ens_T’rget :
CO: Changing the cargo transporters to human resolution can add to the speed of the evacuation limit Sir.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Aye, Sir. :: manages to keep a straight face ::
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: noticed he said the same thing as Lt Xetani. :: OPS: Sorry Ma'am
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: He said the Federation ship was "not here" and was trying to help. I'd feel much safer if I knew what caused all this...not here makes me nervous.
CO_Capt_Adams :
TO: Good work T'rget
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: turns and lift her eyebrow at him and shakes her head ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: watches controls as acknowledgements come across his station from pilots as they sign on to stand-by status ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: All shuttles standing by if needed, Sir.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO/OPS: How's our tow doing?
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
All: What if the other ship providing aid caused the anomaly? Damn, sorry, need answers, I know.
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: We'll be ready for you.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: thinks of TO's quick thinking and that brings him memories of his early years, as a newbie but anxious to improve TO ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: as the turbolift door opens steps onto the Bridge :: CO: Captain... Mrs. O’Connor-Butcher and company.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
CO: A little worse for wear, Sir.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Computer: Compare sensor data we have on the anomaly with sensor records from the database search I just performed. Anything within 1 standard deviation of data, put in open window on my screen. No, on Science 2.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher: I think there's someone who'd like to hear from you - it's audio only :: nods to OPS ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Tractor beam is currently on standby, with the ship's momentum carrying it. I'll resume tractor when we reach orbit or sooner if you want, Captain.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
:: nods back to the CO :: CO: Channel open.
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: That'll do Ensign, that'll do just fine.
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
CO: Thank you Sir. Who?

CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: Mr. O’Connor.... Your daughter I presume?
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: Darma?? Is that you baby?
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Actually, resuming tractor now - 1 minute to planetary orbit. ::hits the appropriate controls::
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
Com: Dylan: Yes Daddy, it's me. We found help.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: feels the momentum of both ships find the best arrangement for tandem travel ::
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: Yes, I hear that. You did well. Are Jade and Jude alright?
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Orbit achieved, Sir. We are in stationary orbit above the signal on the planet.
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
Com: Dylan: Yes, they are here too and doing fine.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Computer: Bring up a summary of sensor readings so far, using an average of data points limited to 10% of a standard deviation. Let's see if this thing might interact with ship systems...
CO_Capt_Adams :
FCO: Good work
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: We will see you soon.
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: stands at attention with both of his hand behind his back, next to the TO ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: stares at the three women and looks them up from head to toe and thinks "They seem quite fine to me" ::
Darma_O’Connor :
Com: Dylan: Alright Daddy, see you soon. :: smiles ::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CO: Shuttles are ready to deploy, Sir.
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
CO: Thank you Captain, you have no idea what this means to us.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: shakes head and relieves T`rget at tactical and motions him to TAC2 ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
CO: Sensors still trying to find what caused this mess. Still going with the anomaly disrupting the star system, but nothing leaping out as a cause of the anomaly. Trying to see if I can see something from a previous Federation ship interaction might have caused but there are a lot of ship systems it could be...or it could be none of them.
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
CO: We have been out here for over 50 years.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: What is your current safety status Mr. O’Connor... do you need immediate evacuation?
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: I'd say we have 7 to 10 days to evacuate. It is getting down to the wire Captain.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: looks back over to the women and still thinks they look very fine ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: May we beam down to your location?
Jade_Senbeck-Karter :
:: notices the Klingon and smiles ::
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: Most certainly.

CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: looks back at Jade and smiles back ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Darma: Wait, 50 years? By our records your ship disappeared about 15 years back.
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
CSO: What??? That's impossible!
CO_Capt_Adams :
XO: Form an Away Team for immediate beam down
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CSO: Just a thought Sir - maybe they jumped in time more than once?
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
CO: Yes Sir!
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: frowns and scans the vessel :: CSO: The scans of the vessel show it to be about 100 years old.
CO_Capt_Adams :
TO: Remain here and monitor the Away Team, for immediate beam out should anything "weird" happen.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Darma: What Ensign Banks said, it looks like some sort of temporal anomaly, so it may have indeed done that. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have told you like that, I should have realized our time line may be off.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
CSO/CTO: That's consistent with my thought given the manufacture date on that vessel. ::shrug::
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: nods :: CO: Aye Sir.
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
CSO: I don't understand how this happened.
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
ALL: Captain Marek, Trix, to Transporter Room One. D'ghor to Transporter Room Two.
SC_Capt_Marek :
XO: Aye, Commander. :: nods ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: nods to the XO ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Darma: Neither do I, completely. But I'm working on it. But it looks like whatever dragged you here had a spatial aspect to pull you from Federation space and a temporal aspect to pull you through time. I wish I could explain better. I won't stop until I have an answer though. Maybe we'll find something on the Away mission.
CO_Capt_Adams :
Com: O’Connor: Sir, we are heading your way now...
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
*Sickbay*: Medical officer requested in Transporter Room Two for the away team
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
:: hears the XO :: CO: My friends and I would like to go as well Sir.
Dylan_O’Connor :
@COM: Pandora: CO: Very well.
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Grabs a Science kit and joins the Away Team. :: *Friktak*: I want you and at least two others keeping an eye on sensors while I'm on the Away Mission. First signs of chronitons increasing let myself AND the Bridge know.
CMO_Lt_Payne :
*XO* Hold your horses Commander... I'll be there as soon as possible.... just finishing the 'Khesting' Starfleet reports!
FCO_Ens_Banks :
::sets scanners to monitor immediate vicinity for forming wormholes::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: gets up and heads off Bridge to Transporter Room One ::

CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: follows the Captain ::
Darma_O’Connor-Butcher :
:: assumes she and the others are to go and follows the CO ::
CMO_Lt_Payne :
:: mumbles and grabs his medical kit and tricorder :: Self: Can't get any 'Khesting' work done.... go here... go there.... :: sighs ::
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
*CMO*: The reports can wait and I'd keep watch of my tone while addressing an officer if I were you, Transporter Room Two on the double doctor!
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
:: walks to the turbolift ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: follows the Commander ::
CMO_Lt_Payne :
*XO*: I'm already out the door of sickbay... I'm just cranky is all. See you at the Transporter Room. Payne out.
CMO_Lt_Payne :
:: walks up the Jeffrey’s tube one deck to the Transporter Room and enters ::
CMO_Lt_Payne :
:: waits for everyone to arrive ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: enters the turbolift with the others ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Goes over the sensor data as the Away Team forms up. :: Self: OK, this thing has been here for some time if I'm reading this right. This end set up about five decades ago, but both ends seem to have been collapsing... This end is almost gone, is that what's destroying the system?
TO_Ens_T’rget :
:: takes over at tactical once more ::
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
Self: But no, data is saying... what the heck does this mean?
FCO_Ens_Banks :
:: taps controls to automate some of the station-keeping of the ship ::
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FCO: Did you hear that woman? She didn't know that they had only been reported missing for 15 years.
FCO_Ens_Banks :
OPS: It's... well, it's really something. I don't know how I would handle it personally.
OPS_Lt_Xetani :
FCO: I couldn’t even begin to imagine.
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: enters the turbolift last ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
::nods to the CTO as he enters the turbolift::
FCO_Ens_Banks :
OPS: I've set up a sensor routine to monitor for the formation of wormholes just in case. I admit I'm a little nervous about just sitting here.

ACTION: Every one going to the planet is in a Transporter Room.

CMO_Lt_Payne :
:: looks down at his invisible watch as everyone enters the Transporter Room :: All: Y'all took your time getting here. 
CSO_LtJG_Trix :
:: Steps on Transporter Pad and waits for the order to beam down. ::
CTO_Lt_D`ghor :
:: steps on the pad ::
CMO_Lt_Payne :
:: steps on the pad ::
Transporter_Chief_D’sparu :
ALL: Eees everyone ready? :: heavy French accent ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
:: Steps on Transporter Pad ::
SC_Capt_Marek :
:: trips on the edge before stepping on the pad :: Self:: Blame it on the age
XO_Cmdr_Gaeb :
:: takes position ::
CO_Capt_Adams :
Chief: Energize

ACTION: The away team is beamed to the surface.
